rigging, modeling, animating, and any other type of skill requires practise, and some form of dedication. none of these things are exactly "hard", you just have to give it a shot and learn. apparently not many people in the community want to learn.

also the lack in dedication on a particular project, is definitely the biggest problem around here. if you wanna do something, you might as well finish it! i should speak for myself... although im going through quite the learning curve with all the failures ive had. and the constant complaining and excuses of the "lack" of tutorials... thats pretty lazy... but ive seen several cool maps go down the drain from lack of interest, or just down right giving up. EVEN AFTER THEY GET HELP FROM SOMEBODY.

ah man i could go on for quite some time about this community, but i think thats enough for today... main point is

you dont need to create "teams" in order to accomplish something.
you CAN do anything if you work at it.
play nice, instead of insulting each other constantly over a video game...

Yeah wasnt talking about you,think you got off on something else.:P

I was quotening what you said about one person doing more than the whole team combined.

Haun i have to tell you i love your name and avatar <3

Today, on this episode, of Halomaps TV, we see how many 10 year olds we can cram into one broom closet and call them a mapping team!

this is why halomaps needs a like button ^

PS: there's a flood brute (at least it LOOKS like flood) on one of the mummy maps, but it's not h3 it's custom. I believe it uses elite anims but it'd get your point across

placeholders placeholders placeholders!

i actually wanna take a go at the some flood stuff, ill look at the brute flood and get some animation going if the model is good. (regular brutes have missing armor perms)

i gotta get another copy of halo 3 to get better references though.
Edited by waffles on Feb 19, 2012 at 06:45 PM

why not just look at some halo 3 walkthroughs/playthroughs on youtube?

lol, its way better to have full control of every view and angle. thats what makes theatre mode amazing. i can get a start on simple things like idles though through pictures, also wanna read up on some tutorials so i can whip up some nicer stuff.

Or just pictures...?

lol. you cant see breathing loops, or any details within in a still image, are you guys bent on me not buying the game? or just really impatient?

Alright. Well I'll just put this out there. I'm part of this mapping team, but I recently have not gotten much time to work on 3d work due to finals in high school.

Here is something I have done lately. It's a full rig of noble 6, and being tested with mocap files (thank you Maniac1000). To be honest, I'm not that great at 3d work, probably far from some of you. But I do my best. I learn when I can. And I don't make up crap to make me look great. I hope everyone would understand that my participation in this mapping team is to learn and share.

btw sorry, the img tag thing isn't working. Also thanks Maniac1000. It's nice to have inspirational people like you in this community.

Click your image, go to the url OF the image; it should end in a .jpg, .png, etc. That way the img tags can reference it.

Nice renders, mind posting your settings or teaching me?

ha, i just spent a half an hour trying to make that noble look nice, you put me to shame :)
I would also be interested in learning how you made them look so purdy.

You have already posted these once before Altheros, make some effort to improve them before you repost.

Needs some work, remember how the Flood dismembers its victims? Like the Human form's head is posed on top of the ripped spinal cord, and the Elite's head is pushed to the back? No offense, but right now that looks like a retextured Brute. Needs a bit...more.

...ew.
I mean, it's not bad, but it still needs heaps of work.
For the flood brute, fix UVs. And you might wanna disorientate the model because that's just what flood do.

hurrr hurrr dats right im the scenery gai, thats why i have this...

all bipeds have at least 1 idle, even if they are just place holders.
Edited by waffles on Feb 24, 2012 at 08:44 PM

Every time I see a flood, I think of taking a bite and then what it would taste like.

Rotten flesh. Yes, rotten flesh.

Probably gonna taste like apple pie <3
Edited by XlzQwerty1 on Feb 24, 2012 at 10:34 PM

I'd start with the tendrils coming out from the chest, and nibble on the stalks. Then I'd take a huge bite out of where the infection form is.

ok first off im not a beta tester I AM the leader LMT heretic is co-lead. also some of you are asking what has ASMT done to prove its talent (God Man) well I will just say we got a few things were working on atm we will get pics posted later.And the two maps that were uploaded were by altheros who didnt get them approved, our maps will be better then those two maps.PS I kicked altheros from team :)

Would you eat flood? Maybe they taste like candy and we just don't know it. Bad smelling candy, but candy nonetheless!
